Right. That is a concern. As Dmitry pointed out there is a bug in the
code that kasan_record_aux_stack() is in the "out:" path.

I looked for queue_work() -> queue_work_on() -> __queue_work() and
function header doc. I couldn't find any place it says it is okay to
call queue_work() with raw spinlock held.

I am thinking that is not the case, since __queue_work() acquires pool
lock which is a raw spinlock. The lockdep warning will occur when the
pool lock acquire happens. I haven't seen it. We have 1290 callers of
queue_work() and we would have seen this before.
